Maistwin: Atem and me are back once again in...Meet the family. I will be writing it, and Atem gets his former name back.

Atem: Whatever, anyway, Maistwin doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh and never will.

Maistwin: Stuff you need to know:

; This is Yami talking to Yugi;

: This is Yugi talking to Yami:

That's about it.

Prelude

Yugi's POV

I sat in my seat as the subway sped down the track. Well, "Yami" and me. I still don't know what to make of the spirit. At least I think he's a spirit. I, just last month, realized his existence. After defeating Pegasus, we were formally introduced. I know that he's been with me for much longer than that. We still haven't gotten much time talk. And I'm sure we won't now, because I'm heading to America, where my parents are. My parents have invited me to spend the rest of my time off (2 months) with them. Unfortunately, what will they make of Yami? That's why...

I don't plan on telling them.

Normal POV

As the train sped towards its destination, Yugi thought about all possibilities he could use to avoid telling his parents about Yami.

His #1 option:

Don't get mad.

His #2 option:

Avoid them period

His #3 option:

Tell them and avoid the stress.

That was about it. He thought it was best to simply go with #1. All of Yami's appearances had happened when he got mad, irritated, stressed, or picked on. Since he was not going to school, the only one he had to worry about was getting mad.

; Yugi? ;

: GAHHH!! :

; I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, but I just wanted to ask why you didn't want to mention me to your parents? ;

Yugi's eye twitched at Yami saying that.

: You can read my thoughts can't you? :

; Yep. ;

Yugi sighed. All he didn't know about is doppelganger. But, it was nice to know that Yami could read his thoughts. He wouldn't be as surprised the next time he interfered.

: Well, Yami, my parents wouldn't understand. They don't believe in magic, don't want me messing with it. I don't know why, but I just wouldn't go well if I told them I have an alter ego. :

Yami is still pretty clueless about the world. He asked the world's most annoying question.

; Why? ;

: Well, lets imagine this, "Hi dad! Guess what? You've probably wondering how your one-and-only son hasn't been bullied around lately. Well, It's because his other self, made them go literally insane. Can we get some pizza now?" :

; Oh, I can sense the reaction your family would have. Why aren't you with them anyway? ;

Yugi sighed again.

: We lived in Japan for a while, then my parents wanted to go to live in Boston for a while. I was about 4, so I couldn't o with them. They said the education was better in Japan anyway. So, I live out the years in Japan, and my parents invite me there every so often. :

A man made his way through the crowd towards Yugi's seat. He wore all black, and looked very much like a gangster.

"That's MY seat!" He said.

"It is? I'm sorry, I didn't think that it belonged to you."

"You think! Get out of it you runt!"

"But I was sitting here first. Can't you sit over there? Please?"

Yugi motioned towards an empty seat on the far side of the room.

"I want that one twerp! Now..."

The man grabbed Yugi by the collar, not noticing that for a brief moment, his victims face had become dark.

"Don't make me hurt you!"

"No. It's you that might get hurt."

The man dropped his victim in surprise.

"Wait...how did...oh, who cares. I'm going to hurt you anyway spiky."

He ran towards "Yugi" and was quite surprised when a hand stopped him abruptly.

"I wouldn't try that again if I were you." 'Yugi' stated calmly.

"Oh really? Now why not spikes?"

"Let's play a game..."

About 5 minutes later...

Yugi woke up standing outside the subway at his destination.

: Yami? What did you do to that man? :

; I gave him what he deserved. It turns out he's beating up every regular person in that subway for the past 6 months. ;

: I'm almost afraid to ask, but what punishment did you give him? :

; Let's just say he's catching up on his childhood... ;

The Punishment

"Ok kids, now we're going to talk about NO violence at school." An overly perky teacher said.

"Yay!" Said the kids.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Said the man who tried to beat Yugi up.

Back at the subway portal...

A car drove up to the bench where Yugi was sitting. It was a very brightly painted station wagon, which looked quite familiar to Yugi.

"Hey kiddo! Look who's here!" A man with dark black hair and bangs like Yugi's waved out the window of it.

"Dad!"

Yugi practically bounced into the car.

"So what's happened to you been since you started High School?"

A redhead, his mom, asked.

"Ummm, well, a lot of stuff."

: Like I've got my personal bodyguard/judge that lives with me. :

; Excuse me? ;

: Nevermind:

Yugi and his parents were on their way to lots of trouble.
